    Have an iPhone? Update your EO app. It's different. Not bad. Just different.

    It is Septemeber...where R U?

    Yes!! Charlotte and vicinity CAN be good. At least for us. One can reach a lot of shippers from Charlotte.

    It is Septemeber...where R U?

    I think I got kicked out of the Lancaster Walmart too. As well as Lowe's. Although Lowe's was more like the "sharks circling the van" than anything. 10-12 laps around me made me a bit uncomfortable.

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Fairly busy for a holiday weekend. Of course in guessing it's busy because of the holiday and all the unavailable trucks. Happy Labor Day weekend all!!!!!

    Owning a cargo van

    Yes. Shorties at this rate would be good, all miles. But anything with miles to it for that rate? Including DH?

    Owning a cargo van

    $1.25-$1.75? That would be nice! Unless you're DHing too much. DH policy is a BIG factor. BIG!!!

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Many guys get a great rate "all miles". Deadheads home hurt that, of course. But I wonder just how many people keep up with, and will post what they are ACTUALLY averaging per mile, all miles. Yes, our guys are down a few cents per mile too. I wouldn't dare say otherwise. But how much DH...

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Yes. The days of the "self proclaimed professional expedite driver" owning the industry are over. Good people coming from all walks of life doing a great job. I blame American Axle. Why? An keep in mind I have NO idea what the real answer is. Wasn't it 2008 when they went on strike? Didn't...

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    I'll be the first to admit that it's been tough. The go-to cities and regions have just not been as "go-to" as they used to be. Rates are in the crapper, sometimes. We lose a lot of bids. But at least we're losing them because we're not the cheapest bids out there. Oh, we're competitive. But...

    Multiple stops

    Loads with a lot of multiple stops tend to fetch a good bit more than many think, IMHO. I know when I see a load with 8, 10, 12 stops or more I think..."ugh". If enough people shy away from those it tends to make them more valuable. I did an 8-stopper to a bunch of Kroger stores several months...

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    The "black holes" are roving around these days. Seemingly. There are several areas we used to love to go to and even those are harder to get out of at any rate these days. Everyone has a bad week or two here and there. Hopefully the good ones make up for it. But, by design, the market is...

    another newbie, another day

    Only a week out at max makes it really tough. Many times theres a pretty big DH home. To do that every week gets expensive!

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Been skipping all the KC area loads this week. KC has been kinda like the Raid Roach Motels. Too much checking in, compared to the amount of "checking out". IMHO, of course. TX too!! Although there's been PLENTY of both!!

    Where to go?

    It's a bit tougher everywhere. Slim margins and low award percentages. There are fewer "hot spots" and more sitting trucks. The average load length seems shorter. Not sure if it's a cycle or a trend. But everyone keep plugging at it. Or actually, get out!!! Less competition would be GREAT...

    Insurance?

    Well, it's not like he actually went out and GOT the $14K insurance!! LOL!!

    How Not to Treat a Prospective Driver

    One can't fault Turri/Fusion for not taking vans. There's already too many vans/Sprinters/cubes out there. Every day is a struggle. A struggle for loads & a struggle for rates. Rock on, Turri!!!
